League 1 POTM March Nomination (Doyle)

The March nominations for the Sky Bet League 1 Player of the Month Award are:

Michael Doyle (Sheffield United) — midfielderThe United captain provided an almost impregnable shield to a defence which kept six clean sheets during March. He protected the back four with numerous blocks and tackles, and was outstanding at Preston North End and Crawley Town.

Ronan Murray (Notts County) — strikerThe Irishman's return to the line-up triggered an upturn in Notts County`s fortunes and sparked a scoring surge from the 22-year-old with five goals in four starts. His directness had defenders back-pedalling while his finishing was clinical.

James Tavernier (Rotherham United) — full-backThe pacy Newcastle United loanee has been outstanding in both defence and attack. He contributed to five clean sheets in six matches and scored three goals — two stunning free-kicks and a 30-yard pile-driver against Bristol City.

Callum Wilson (Coventry City) — strikerThe 22-year-old's poise in front of goal continues to amaze in his first season of League football. He has assumed sole responsibility up front since Leon Clarke left. Scored in five straight games, notching seven goals in total.

Michael Doyle has been outstanding since his return from the crazy red card against Fulham in the cup. Sitting in front of the back four, NC has found Doyle's most effective position. A great deal of the credit for so many clean sheets has to be down to his tireless running and well timed tackles. His work isn't always given the credit it deserves.
